Vision and Values

Our aims are directed to fulfilling each pupil’s potential through the Nursery and Primary stages of education and aim to prepare each pupil for life beyond the school and as lifelong learners.

We aim to develop the highest standards to which each pupil can aspire. Through the provision of quality learning experiences within a safe, welcoming, healthy and inclusive environment, we make effective use of all resources available to us.

Children are at the heart of everything we do at 'Family Gainsborough' - we believe in them so that they will always believe in themselves.

We believe that every child can reach their full potential through our core values: SAFE, SMART and SMILEY. We are passionate about achieving outstanding outcomes for all – academically, socially and emotionally. We celebrate our difference in a respectful, nurturing and inclusive environment where everyone in ‘Family Gainsborough’ matters. By aiming high, building resilience and having a positive attitude, our children will achieve their goals.
